NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

10 CFR Part 110 

RIN 3150–AI02 

Export and Import of Nuclear Material; 

Exports to Libya Restricted 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is amending its 

export/import regulations by moving 

Libya from the list of embargoed 

destinations to the list of restricted 

destinations. This amendment is 

necessary to conform NRC’s regulations 

with U.S. Government foreign policy. 

DATES: The final rule is effective January 

12, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Publicly available 

documents related to this rulemaking 

may be viewed electronically on the 

public computers located at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), Public 

File Area O1F21, One White Flint 

North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland. The PDR reproduction 

contractor will copy documents for a 

fee. Selected documents, including 

comments can be viewed and 

downloaded electronically via the 

NRC’s rulemaking Web site at http:// 

ruleforum.llnl.gov. 

Publicly available documents created 

or received at the NRC are available 

electronically at the NRC’s Electronic 

Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/

NRC/reading-rm/adams.html. From this 

site, the public can gain entry into the 

NRC’s Agencywide Document Access 

and Management System (ADAMS),

Relations Specialist, Office of 

International Programs, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this final rule is to revise the 

NRC’s export/import regulations in 10 

CFR Part 110, ‘‘Export and Import of 

Nuclear Equipment and Material,’’ with 

regard to Libya in light of the June 30, 

2006 rescission by the Secretary of State 

of Libya’s designation as a State Sponsor 

of Terrorism. Libya was designated as a 

State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1979. The 

Executive Branch has recommended 

that, in light of the rescission of the 

designation, 10 CFR Part 110 should be 

amended by moving Libya from the 

embargoed destinations list to the 

restricted destinations list. 

This rule moves Libya from the 

embargoed destinations list for exports 

in 10 CFR 110.28 to the restricted 

destinations list in 10 CFR 110.29. This 

means that exports to Libya of small 

quantities of certain nuclear materials 

and byproduct materials may qualify for 

the NRC general license specified in 

§§ 110.21 through 110.24. 

The NRC staff has determined that 

moving Libya from the embargoed list to 

the restricted list is consistent with 

current U.S. law and policy, and will 

pose no unreasonable risk to the public 

health and safety or to the common 

defense and security of the United 

States. 

Because this rule involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States, the 

notice and comment provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act do not 

apply (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). This rule will 

become effective immediately upon 

publication. 

Voluntary Consensus Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–113) requires that Federal Agencies 

use technical standards that are 

developed or adopted by voluntary

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 8 / Friday, January 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 1427 

consensus standards bodies unless 

using such a standard is inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. This final rule does not 

constitute the establishment of a 

standard for which the use of a 

voluntary consensus standard would be 

applicable. 

Environmental Impact: Categorical 

Exclusion 

The NRC has determined that this 

final rule is the type of action described 

in categorical exclusion 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(1). Therefore, neither an 

environmental impact statement nor an 

environmental assessment has been 

prepared for the rule. 

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement 

This final rule does not contain new 

or amended information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). Existing requirements were 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), approval number 

3150–0036. 

Public Protection Notification 

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a request for information or an 

information collection requirement 

unless the requesting document 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Regulatory Analysis 

The NRC currently controls exports to 

Libya as an embargoed destination in 

section 110.28. There is no alternative to 

amending the regulations for the export 

and import of nuclear equipment and 

materials. This final rule would not 

result in any increase or cost to the 

public. 

Regulatory Flexibility Certification 

As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, (5 U.S.C. 

605(b)), the Commission certifies that 

this final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This rule 

affects only companies exporting 

nuclear equipment and materials to 

Libya which do not fall within the scope 

of the definition of ‘‘small entities’’ set 

forth in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601(3)), or the Size Standards 

established by the NRC (10 CFR 2.810). 

Backfit Analysis 

The NRC has determined that a 

backfit analysis is not required for this 

rule because these amendments do not 

include any provisions that would 

impose backfits as defined in 10 CFR 

Chapter I. 

Congressional Review Act 

Under the Congressional Review Act 

of 1996, the NRC has determined that 

this action is not a major rule and has 

verified this determination with the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs of OMB.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to certain Boeing Model 

747–100, 747–100B, 747–100B SUD, 

747–200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 747–

300, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. 

The existing AD currently requires 

repetitive inspections to detect cracks 

and fractures of the strut front spar 

chord assembly at each strut location, 

and repair if necessary. This new AD 

expands the inspection area by 

requiring repetitive inspections for any 

cracks or fracture of the strut front spar 

chord assembly in an area forward of 

the existing inspection area at each strut 

location, and repair if necessary. This 

AD results from a strut front spar chord 

assembly that was found fractured, 

forward of the inspection area required 

by the existing AD. We are issuing this 

AD to detect and correct cracks and 

fracture of the nacelle strut front spar 

chord assembly. Fracture of the front 

spar chord assembly could lead to loss 

of the strut upper link load path and 

consequent fracture of the diagonal 

brace, which could result in in-flight 

separation of the strut and engine from 

the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 29, 2007.
